Dirty Sexy Games (Dirty Games) Paperback – October 29, 2018

When I read the last page in Dirty Sexy Player, I was stunned and could not believe I’d have to wait for the conclusion. I was beside myself, yelling Nooooo! I need to know what happens next. Man waiting for this beauty of a conclusion was definitely worth the wait! Dirty Sexy Games is the stunning conclusion of the Dirty Games Duo filled with steamy, loving, heartbreaking scenes, you just don’t know if your heart can take much more until you turn the next page. Yes, it’s that good!Weston is given one bombshell after another. The first bombshell he can’t wrap his head around. The second bombshell he won’t let happen. Elizabeth is everything he wants and needs and he will not quit her, even if it looks like she is giving up on them. Elizabeth knows her love for Weston is the real deal. She tries to compartmentalize her feelings when she’s thrown one curve ball after another but she just can’t in the end. Little does she know, Weston was not having any of it. When he takes charge of the situation he caused, he makes the right decision for both of them.I know this may seem vague but there’s so much that happens and if I went into details I’d give away the plot. Just know, you will find yourself riding the emotional train and loving every minute. Elizabeth’s strength and determination is unwavering and makes her character multi-dimensional and likable. Weston’s heart is everything you want for Elizabeth. The chemistry between the two is hella hot but the loving was even more memorable.All in all, this was a brilliant conclusion. I’m looking forward to reading Donovan’s delicious sexy fall. I can’t wait 😊

After I started reading, I realized that I had not read the first book. I thought I had. I knew the players but things started happening and characters that I did not know were being introduced into the story. I enjoyed both. Could I have continued reading the second book? Yes. Since I was familiar with the characters. I am glad I went back to the first book.Weston and Elizabeth are quite steamy in this duet and I love the pretend we love each other and then they actually fall for each other stories. But with this one, there are some twists and revelations that are not the usual set up. I love reading Ms. Paige’s books because it is guaranteed sexy, steamy, romantic, and very dirty. Totally recommend. I also recommend that you read some of her other series. Very good and entertaining.

Laurelin Paige is one of my favorite authors. I like her fluidity with language. She knows how to write romance. When she is on her game, she even adds the uniqueness of her voice in the development of her characters imbuing them with inventive personality quirks. And…she knows how to write a hot passionate erotic moment. These moments found throughout this series from the beginning in Dirty Filthy Rich Boys are mostly unexpected which make them doubly hot because they create a genuine sense of intimacy between the characters on the page and the reader. It’s as if we, the readers, share private moments of these sexy lovers hidden from the rest of the world…shared secrets.I must admit while there are some wonderful passages in this read that make the book an overall pleasurable experience, it is my least favorite of the entire series. The tension created by the dilemma of Weston’s past decisions interfering with his ability now to be in his new marriage 100% to his recently discovered very real, true love, Elizabeth, seems a bit overworked. I became impatient with the angsty “should I tell her now” … “oh no, not yet”… “now”… “not yet”. So much angst!!!Then again, in between the angst is the “sexy”. As much as I am frustrated with the angst…Ms. Paige works her magic with her erotic writing mastery…not to mention how hot Weston is described. Even though he is half out of his mind with his secrets. Secrets he thinks are going to derail his new-found comfort and delight in loving Elizabeth. Oh Weston of little faith!Elizabeth is a wonderful heroine…beautiful, sexy, intelligent and ambitious. Most importantly, she has a good heart. It is a little damaged from some issues with her deceased father. She truly loves Weston and he does “it” for her as much she does “it” for him. Yet…she is holding on to her ambitions to prove herself to whom? I found her epiphany about everything in her life to come too suddenly. I mean one minute she feels one way and without preamble, BAM! she reverses herself entirely all in the space of a conversation with the antagonist, her cousin the CEO of the large company she inherited. Very strange timing and setting for such a life-changing decision. This…this was a bit of awkward writing… perhaps this plot point resolution was rushed and/or inappropriately placed.This plot pacing faux pas is entirely forgiven because of the unexpected kinky hotness that was in the epilogue. In essence…this read gave me have mood swings and whiplash. Though, I’m glad I read it for the good parts…the good times. Weston is one hell of a sexy character…I am happy he is in my memory. A treasure really.I’m the worst rater. I was going to give this book 4 stars but I really like this author and the good parts redeem the not so good and my usual 4 star rated reads don’t have the special moments this book has. It is actually 4.5 stars. You all know me…4.5 gets rounded up to 5. It is more what I say about than how I quantify a book. I am a terrible rater and an even worse critic. If you love a hot, sexy, quasi-dirty romance, you will not be disappointed. You might even enjoy the angst-sex-angst-sex ad infinitum… see-saw?Favorite Quote: (I could just see Weston in my mind’s eye…oh, he is magnificent!)"Weston emerged from the ocean, an Adonis shining in the sun. He traipsed across the sand, seemingly unaware of the women nearby ogling him. It was impossible not to. He’d bronzed during our nine days in the tropics, and wearing only his swim trunks, his finest assets were displayed. His washboard abs. His perfectly sculpted biceps. His sun-bleached hair. That wicked grin. Not to mention that dimple that practically caused ovulation just by looking at it. And it was mine."

The conclusion to Dirty Sex Games and let me tell you it was so so very good and satisfying.Elizabeth has a very naughty side to her and Weston is the lucky man that has found it. It begins where we last left the happy couple. On their honeymoon they play a little game. During this time they get to know one another after finally confusing their love for one another. Weston has a big secret that was given to him on the wedding day and just doesn’t know how to deliver the news to his wife. He hopes that falling love will be enough to hold on to one another.Weston knows that he is a better man when he has Elizabeth beside him and knowing that he sees and wants things that he never though he wanted. Home is where the heart is and for Weston that is Elizabeth. She has goals to run the family business and knows that family is important. When she finds out that Weston has a son and sees how important it is for them to be together she tries to end the marriage and moves to France without him.Baby mama drama is never easy but Callie and Dana are on the same page when it comes to the baby and Weston is onboard and will move mountains to ensure that his family is together. He sees a happy life with Elizabeth by his side along with his son. She on the other hand has other thoughts and leaves thinking that is the best for everyone.Such a wonderful storyline and to have both POV was the best and the way I enjoy it the most. Falling in love is never easy but Weston and Elizabeth, they belong together.

I loved the series…all of Laurelin Paiges works are excellent!! It’s a series that keeps you so interested right to the end

I liked them story, great purchase. I like this story so open about gays and also shows that man can be responsible for them kids

Humour. Romance. Drama. Angst. Secrets. Those are the first few words that pop into my head when I think about this book and what you can expect from it; words that, in my opinion, describe Dirty Sexy Games perfectly.I honestly thought that I'd be hesitant to start this book since I didn't love Dirty Sexy Player like I thought I would - I found that book to be predictable with the fact that it's a haters-to-lovers, arranged marriage romance, and it was just obvious to me what was going to happen in that story. Well, except for that bombshell of an ending that completely blew my mind. But the rest of the time... I won't go into it here, but just know that I was disappointed with Dirty Sexy Player, and so because of that, I thought I'd be hesitant to go into this book.But I found that the second this book appeared on my Kindle, I did not hesitate one bit before dropping everything I was doing and diving back into this dirty, sexy world; one that was completely unpredictable, and was just so much better than I thought it'd be.It was amazing. It captivated my attention from beginning to end, and it was completely mind-blowing and so addictive that I could not and did not put this book down once I picked it up. I wanted an unexpected plot after the flop and predictable plot of Dirty Sexy Player, and I got that unexpected plot here in Dirty Sexy Games. I had so many questions that I needed answers to, and this book did not disappoint in giving me those answers, whilst also giving me one hell of a story that, days later, is still fresh on my mind.Whereas Dirty Sexy Player focused more on the growth of Weston and Elizabeth, and seeing them go from actual haters to lovers with their ever present fake engagement progressing, Dirty Sexy Games focuses more on their marriage itself and the complications of entering a real and very much not fake marriage when there's so many secrets between you - ones from both their pasts that could affect their future, and one from a certain someone's past that already is affecting their future together.It's a book about the struggles of marriage, and the willingness one would go through to make the sacrifices needed for your marriage and happiness, and I just absolutely loved that about this story. It was real and raw and amazing and just splendidly superb; it was Laurelin Paige delivering us yet another fantastic angst filled read that you'll love if you loved the previous book of this duet.There were moments where I felt like some scenes were dragging as there are very long chapters in this book - which is why my overall rating is 4.5 stars - but the rest of the time I was always kept entertained by all that was going on during this story. We see communication - even if at times its miscommunication - but we also see forgiveness and healing, truth and lies, and heartbreak that left me emotionally drained to have to read those heartbreaking scenes.Dirty Sexy Games... It was everything I didn't know it could be. It was so much better than I thought it'd be, and it's officially one of my favourite reads of 2018.

I have been devouring this whole series - what a delight it is to discover such a well written, plot driven and sexy hot series of stories. Highly Recommend 😁

I'm so invested into this series I can't stop reading! Elizabeth the Ice queen isn't much of an ice queen she has let her soft side show and her heart
